AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Good money would be paid to watch Square v Locky at full strength the past few years. Top couple of teams each year would compete well but HDFL drops away quickly after that compared to BFL. GV has no place being compared to either league. Yards ahead
Yes they played them practice matches and yes they have been a benchmark seasons gone but were now 3 rounds in 2014 -Colbo got near enough for round 1 and they haven't played LG or North yet so go easy on the KY jelly until then.
You take nothing out of practice matches, LG have won every practice match the last 3 years, how many sides have all their players playing in them?
That is a huge call and of no significance at all!! If they are that good they should obviously go through undefeated with no side getting within 15 maybe 20 goals. You have to love country footy in April!!
Imagine like a footy version of the champions league, best team of each league go and compete seriously in some kind of carnival to find out which sides are best in vic country. I would pay money to see !
Who cares?? Just win the flag in the comp your in and take it for what it is. If you seriously believe LBU are one of the best sides outside of the GV and O and M, your either incredibly one-eyed or stupid!! Sorry mate but get real!!
Leithville/Gunbower looked very good and probably should be considering the 220k they are spending still think they are a bit behind LBU in terms of teamwork etc as they are a work in progress in terms of all their new players by the end of the season we will get a guage on where they are at will be a cracking game this week
Maybe but the jury is still out injury hasnt helped with Lashbrook and Mckenzie going down with season ending injuries i guess the team is a work in progress still learning how to play with each other and played the top 2 sides in the last two weeks ask the same question at the end of June and we will have more of an idea
Losing a bit of hair i think
Will be a big challenge coming from out of the area and probably not having much knowledge of the area and taking on a wooden spoon team that seem to lose most of their good players. Heathcote are also in unfamilar territory and look like they are in for a long year as well.
I dont think that being out of the area is a problem we had to build the club back up from scratch and get the club culture back on track that has been done and playing the top two sides in the last two weeks hasnt helped i reckon we can cause a few upsets during the year.
It does not matter as we are well and truly into season 2014 with LG v LBU this week it should set the standard for where nth bendigo, colbo and even mounts need to be - that is the top 5 no doubt, but each of them 3 need there new forwards to be on song on the day. This might be the big dance preview.....
Watch a bit of the Nth Bgo v Heffcote match at Atkins St today, and must say that there is a bigger gap in the HDFL this season than I originally thought. Nth spanking the Saints by over 100 points. Top 5 is already locked away IMO with LBU, LG, Mounts, Nth and Huntly to make top 5 with White Hills to be the only other to be considered. Bottom 3 in Elmore, Heathcote and Colbo no chance. Time will only tell I guess !!!
